After eating my lunch, I left my phone sa table and washed the dishes. Saktong pagkatapos kong maghugas ay biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko. It was unknown number pero sinagot ko kase baka yung company na yung tumawag.

Hello! I said after answering the call.
Is this Miss Elizabeth Hernandez? The guy said. Yeah! Lalake yung tumawag but familiar ang boses niya.
Speaking. I answered. Who is this by the way? I asked him.
This is Simon Marcos, CEO of JSM company. He answered. Wait? Siya talaga yung tumawag? I was surprised kase mostly secretary and tumatawag pag ganito.
Hello po sir. I am really sorry about earlier. I wasn't able to answer your calls because I am in a call with my friend. I apologized to him. Hindi ako makapaniwala na siya yung tumawag saakin.
How did you know about that? He asked me. Ang cold ng tono niya.
I overheard it earlier sir when I am talking to my friend. Sa company niyo po kase nagtatrabaho yung friend ko. I said to him. Medyo ninenerbyos na ako kase baka mapahamak pa si Amanda.
Sa company? What is her name? He asked me. Ewan ko pero I find his voice creepy but masarap pakinggan.
Ahhhhmmmm A-amanda po sir. Amanda Perez po. I nervously said to him. Nakatakot naman kase yung boses niya.
Okay! So you already know the good news? He asked me. Medyo cold pa din yung boses niya pero nasasanay na ako.
Yes sir but I don't exactly know the full details of it. Masayang saad ko sa kaniya. Syempre masaya ako kase natanggap ako sa trabaho.
Okay! Your work starts tomorrow and you should be at the office at exactly 8:00 am. I don't like late employees so you must be early tomorrow. You will be assisted by my secretary tomorrow when you arrive. He said to me. Oh! No. Bukas agad agad?
Bukas po agad sir? I asked him.
Yes. Is there any problem with it? He asked me. Mukhang naiirita ata siya saakin.
N-nothing sir. I said to him. Kinakabahan ako sa kaniya na ewan.
Are you afraid of me? You are stuttering kanina pa. He asked and said to me.
Just a little bit. I was shocked from the words that came out of my mouth. S-orry. I-i didn't mean to say those words. I said and apologized to him directly. Ano bang ginagawa mo Eli.
Hahaha. You shouldn't be afraid of me. I don't bite. He laughed a little bit and said. Did he just laughed? All I thought he is so masungit and wont smile and laugh at all except when he is with his family.
Sorry sir. I apologized to him again. As what I am hearing from your employees kase sir, sobrang masungit daw kayo and you barely laugh or smile. I said to him. Totoo naman kase. I don't know, I feel comfortable talking to him.
Who told you that? Your friend? He asked me. Hearing him, it seems like he is also loosening up and feels comfortable talking to me.
Sort of sir but I also seen and experienced it earlier. I said to him.
Did I scare you earlier? He seriously asked me.
Not at all sir but to be honest I didn't feel really comfortable talking to you earlier. I said to him.
Why? He shortly asked me. This should be just a call for him to inform me about my application but it seems to be a small talk with him.
You are too serious and you sounded so cold that is why I am not  really comfortable earlier not like right now. I said to him.
I should be because I am interviewing you that time. He said to me. So you are comfortable talking to me right now? He simply asked me afterwards. I think this is his real voice right now. Just plain, does not sound cold and irritated.
Sort of sir. I feel a little bit more comfortable talking to you right now than earlier sir. I said to him.
That's good to hear. He said. From his voice he sounds a little bit happy.
I need to go already sir. I said to him when I saw its already 1 in the afternoon.
Why? Aren't you enjoying talking to me? He said to me. Bigla na naman sumeryoso yung boses niya but not cold.
Its not like that sir. I need to sleep po kase sir. I have work po kase later. I said to him.
Oh! You would still work there? He asked me. He is a little bit curious about me right now.
I'm planning to resign later but based on my contract, I still need to work for a week before formally leaving there. I explained to him. As if he is my new friend.
So you are still going to work there while you are working in my company? He asked me. He is really curious about me ha? All I thought he is masungit and all but it shows that he is not. I was about to answer him when I heard a knock. Akala ko saakin but it was from him.
"Sir your meeting will start in 5 minutes. The conference room is already ready." I heard his secretary said. I know its his secretary because I recognize her voice.
I'll be there in a minute. He said in a cold tone. Bumalik na naman siya sa pagiging cold. After that I heard the sound of the door closing.
I'll be going already. I already have a meeting. What would you prefer me to call you? He said to me and asked. Bigla na naman nag iba yung tono niya. What is wrong with this guy.
Eli sir. I simply answered him.
Eli? That's cool. Okay then see you tomorrow Eli. He said to me.
Yes sir. See you tomorrow po. I said to him and he ended the call.

I really can't understand him. He is cold to everyone and he is to me at first but after a few minutes bigla na lang hinde but in all fairness I really enjoyed taking to him and because of that, I got really more curious about him."Joseph Simon Araneta Marcos" what is in you that makes me curious about you and makes me want to know you even more.
